Maya-Deceased
Four Years Ago;
"Oh my god you're so big!" Some girl cried out as Ryou pounded her hard and fast.
Ryou wasn't saying anything; he was just grunting and groaning as he pushed his penis in and out of her.
"Maya…I'm going to cum!" Ryou groaned out.
"Oh Ryou; I'm cumming! I'm cumming!" Maya cried out as she released all her juices.
"Oh! Oh! Grrr!" Ryou groaned out as he came deep inside of Maya.
Maya is one of the newest mew mews, but also oldest at twenty-five at this moment; Ryou is seventeen. She has short orange hair, dark blue eyes and is 5'0"
Ryou, also at this moment was incredibly drunk; she got him drunk for her own personal reasons.
It was the seven year anniversary of his parents' deaths…so she was taking advantage of him…for whatever reason.
"Wow…that was the best sex I've ever had." Maya breathed out as she fell onto her back.
"Thanks." Ryou breathed out before passing out.
Once she was sure he was out, Maya got up, got dressed and started searching around.
"What are you doing in here?" Keiichiro asked looking at Maya as she was searching through the files.
"I uh...ummm…" Maya tried thinking of an excuse.
"Maya, you need to leave…now. I don't know what you're plans with Ryou are, but you need to leave." Keiichiro ordered angrily.
Maya didn't say anything; she just left frustrated.
After three weeks Maya stopped showing up; and then after two months she just disappeared.
6 Months Ago:
Two young children (a boy & a girl) were locked in a dark, cold and moldy cellar/closet.
The little boy is taller with brown hair and blue eyes; his name is Kai Shirogane.
The little girl is tiny with red hair and blue eyes; her name is Mai Shirogane.
Kai and Mai are Maya's and Ryou's children…but Ryou doesn't know about them…even though they have his last name.
Maya knows exactly who's the children's father is…because Ryou is the only guy she fucked at around that time. Not to mention she didn't have him wear a condom and he came deep inside of her.
So once she found out she was pregnant she gave them his last name…and even put his name on their birth certificates.
She had thought about telling him about them, but she decided not to for whatever reasons. Mainly because he had something she wanted…his research on the mew mews. She just didn't know he kept it all up in his head.
There's one thing that she didn't think of; she actually has to be a mother…which she's no good at.
Actually in all actuality she's horrible at it; she abuses and neglects those poor kids like no other.
Here's a list of things she does or does not do to or for those kids:
She beats them
She lets her boyfriend beat them
She lets her boyfriend touch Mai
She locks them in the cellar/closet
She scares the crap out of them
She tortures them
She "forgets" to feed them on a daily basis
She locks them in her family sauna
She hangs them upside down for long periods of time
She lets her dogs trample and attack them
She takes away any toys they get from her parents (who are now dead)
She keeps them in the same clothes for days on end
She hangs them by their arms for hours on end
She smacked Mai so hard that she gave her a black and blue eye and split lip
She burned their hands on the stove tops
She nearly drowned them in a lake
She makes them sleep on the cold concrete floor in a room with broken windows
She has them watch her as she eats a hot meal
And those are only some of the things that she does or doesn't do. (a.n.: I can't think of anymore child abuse…which might be a good thing…)
Anyways…moving on…
Mai was crying on the floor; while Kai held her, just letting her cry on his shoulder.
Kai is braver, stronger, louder and is the one who cries the least.
Mai is very shy, quiet, meek and is the one who cries the most.
"What are you whining about this time? You have nothing to whine about! However, if you want something to whine about I'll give you something to whine about! Now knock it off! And you; stop helping and trying to comfort her!" Maya yelled, drunk as she smacked Mai and Kai across their faces which only caused Mai to cry even more.
"You wanna cry like a little baby; then fine! Go ahead and cry like little babies! Ain't nobody going to come to help you any time soon!" Maya yelled slamming the door shut as she went to the living room and started blasting heavy metal music and ghost noises and left the house to go out drinking at the bar down the street; she would then later become incredibly high.
While she was gone Mai had cried so much that she passed out. And shortly after she passed out Kai fell asleep holding onto Mai protectively.
As sad as it is Kai felt responsible for making sure Mai was as ok as he possibly could. He always tried to protect her as much as his little body possibly could.
And trust me; it's sad. A two and a half year old child should be just that…a child; he shouldn't have to worry about protecting his twin sister.
A Month & A Half Ago:
Cops were called after Maya's neighbors called because of several complaints; two days of straight noise and it started to smell.
Cops first found Maya dead of an overdose with a needle still in her arm on the couch.
Next they found the kids asleep in the cellar/closet; and they only found them because they heard kittens mewing.
Oh yeah, Kai and Mai found some kittens out in the backyard and decided to bring them inside because it was cold out. surprisingly their mother didn't seem to mind. That might be because she's part cat and has a soft spot for them.
Kai and Mai were rushed to the hospital right away and tested for anything and everything that they could be tested for.
Luckily they were clear of any and all STDs but they were not clear of everything; they were both admitted to the hospital for about a month.
They both had…
Walking pneumonia
Bronchitis
The start of meningitis
UTIs
The flu
Severe fevers
Severe chicken Pox
Unknown stomach issues
Measles
While in the hospital, doctors, nurses, police and social services found out everything they needed to know about the children and who their father was.
As much as nurses and doctors wanted to give them their shots they couldn't because they didn't have permission from their parents. And even though their mother was dead, their father was still alive and well somewhere. And even though he probably has no clue they even exist he still has rights…unless he gives up those rights.
Current Time:
Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring.
"Hello? Café Mew Mew. I'm sorry, but I'm afraid you just missed us. Please try again tomorrow between the hours of Noon and 6PM." Keiichiro said answering the phone.
"I'm not calling for pastries; I'm calling for a Shirogane, Ryou. Is he there? Or is there a better time or number I can reach him at?" A voice on the other end of the phone asked.
"Who is it?" Ryou asked when he seen Keiichiro's face.
"Hold please. I don't know, but it's for you." Keiichiro said handing Ryou the phone.
"Hello? Who is this?" Ryou asked calmly.
"Is this Shirogane, Ryou?" The voice on the other end of the phone asked simply.
"Yes, this is he. Now who are you?" Ryou answered and then asked.
"Yes, good. My name is Koji Okunaka and I'm with child protective services. Listen, this isn't exactly something that should be discussed over the phone. Could you possibly be free to meet up with me sometime?" The guy, Koji Okunaka asked calmly.
"What is this about?" Ryou asked right away.
"I don't think this the type of conversation one should over the phone." Koji said again.
"And I'm not going to meet some stranger that I don't know unless I know reason why he wants to meet me. So I'll ask again; what is this all about?" Ryou asked becoming annoyed.
"*Sigh…* Ryou, you're a father." Koji said simply.
"Excuse me?" Ryou asked shocked while Keiichiro stood there wondering what was going on.
"You. Are. A. Father. Now that you know why I called, can we meet somewhere?" Koji said a little slower and then asked.
"What do you mean I'm a father? Who the hell is the mother and why didn't I know about any of this? Are you sure there even mine because don't ever remember having sex with anyone." Ryou said becoming annoyed as Keiichiro and the girls stood there shocked.
"Obviously this is a lot to take in. Please Ryou, can we meet in person and I'll explain everything to you then. If you have someone you'd like to bring as well, you can; but only one other person." Koji explained.
"Can you at least tell me who its mother is?" Ryou asked again while placing his fingers to his temple.
"I guess I can do that. Their mother was Maya Neesa. I say "their" because she had twins." Koji said shocking Ryou even more.
"Maya Neesa? Fine…when are you free to meet up?" Ryou asked sighing a lot while rubbing his brow.
"When are you free? I can meet at anytime." Koji answered.
"Same here." Ryou answered.
"Ok. How about tomorrow afternoon?" Koji asked.
"Where and what time exactly?" Ryou asked leaning against a counter.
"Can you meet at Children's Memorial Mercy Home at around one in the afternoon?" Koji asked simply.
"Yeah, that's fine." Ryou answered still frustrated.
"Great. Are you brining someone with you?" Koji asked.
"Umm…yeah I have someone to come with me. His name is Keiichiro Akasaka; he is my best friend and he took care of me after my parents passed away." Ryou answered looking at Keiichiro who nodded his head.
"Great. I'll see you tomorrow then." Koji said happily.
"Yeah, see you tomorrow. Have a wonderful night." Ryou said taking a deep breath.
"Have a good night…or try to have a good night." Koji said as they both hung up.
"Ryou, are you alright?" Keiichiro asked as Ryou sunk to the floor.
"What's going on?" The girls asked confused.
"Apparently I'm a father…" Ryou said holding his head.
"What?!" All the girls yelled shocked.
"Yeah…and Maya's the mother." Ryou said still holding his head.
"Well then you can't possibly be the father; you've never had sex with her." Ichigo and Lettuce said looking at him.
"Actually, that's where you'd be wrong. Maya and I had sex on the anniversary of my parents' death. And I didn't use a condom; I thought she was on some kind of birth control." Ryou said finally looking up.
"Ryou…" Lettuce said softly.
"How could you be so stupid?" Berry asked right away.
"Berry! Maybe we should figure some things out before we become so critical! I'm sure there's a reason why he did what he did…or why she did what she did." Ichigo said calmly.
"Ichigo's right." A girl with red hair with white highlights and brown eyes said standing there.
"Thank you Pepaminto." Ichigo said simply.
In the last three years there have been four new mew mews, Pepaminto, Keki, Nashi and Kiwi.
Pepaminto is seventeen and is infused with the DNA of the Black Footed Ferret.
Keki is twelve with long black hair and brown eyes and is infused with the DNA of the Sumatran Surili.
Nashi is twenty-one with shoulder-length teal hair and blue eyes and is infused with the DNA of the Spectacled Bear.
Kiwi is sixteen with short brown hair and brown eyes and is infused with the DNA of the Hawksbill Sea Turtle.
Ichigo was now seventeen and her hair was now to her upper back.
Mint was now seventeen and she looked exactly the same.
Lettuce was now sixteen and her hair was now shoulder-length as she donated a bunch of it to kids with cancer.
Pudding was now twelve and her hair was now shoulder-length.
Zakuro was now twenty-one and her hair was now to her lower back; but she would soon be cutting it for kids with cancer.
Berry was now sixteen and looks exactly the same.
"So what happened Ryou?" Lettuce asked softly.
"I'm not really sure per say. I remember getting really drunk and having sex with Maya on the anniversary of the death of my parents and that's it." Ryou explained.
"When was that?" Keiichiro asked curiously.
"Uh…a few months before she just disappeared." Ryou answered.
"She bought the alcohol?" Keiichiro asked again.
"Yeah…" Ryou answered again.
"I think she was trying to get information on something…I caught her snooping around that day. but what could she have wanted?" Keiichiro asked confused.
"She wanted the research on the mew mew project. I knew I overheard her correctly!" Berry exclaimed all of the sudden.
"And why didn't you tell us when you heard this?" Ryou asked snapping back to reality.
"I didn't think anything of it…nor did I really care. I mean you keep it all in your head anyways." Berry said simply.
Ryou was going to say something, but held his tongue because he didn't want to start anything.
"Girls, just go home for the night. I'm going to go to bed to get ready for tomorrow. Oh, and by the way; we're not opening tomorrow. Have a good day off." Ryou said heading upstairs.
"Poor Ryou…" Ichigo sighed.
"How do we even know they're even his?" Mint asked crossing her arms across her chest.
"We don't. All we can do is wait and see." Keiichiro sighed as he sent the girls home for the night.
The Next Afternoon at Children's Memorial Mercy Home:
Ryou and Keiichiro entered the building and right away were stopped at the front desk.
"May I help you?" A lady at the desk asked politely.
"Umm yeah…I have an appointment with a Koji Okunaka at One." Ryou answered calmly.
"Your name please?" The lady asked.
"Shirogane, Ryou." Ryou answered right away.
"Oh yes, here you are. Mr. Okunaka is up on the third floor. Please head up and he'll be with you as soon as he can." The lady said politely with a smile.
"Thank you." Ryou and Keiichiro said politely heading towards the elevators.
Five minutes later they were up on the third floor waiting for Koji to see them.
"Shirogane, Ryou and friend?" A lady called from the far side of the waiting room.
"Right this way please. My name is Sage and I'm Koji's assistant. You'll be in room 8B. So, do you know why you're here?" Sage asked closing the door behind them.
"I was told that I was a father." Ryou replied simply as he sat down in the chair closest to the table.
"Yes, that's correct." Sage said with a smile.
"How can you be so certain that the twins are mine?" Ryou asked curiously.
"We can't other then the fact your name is on both of their birth certificates. But we all know how that can be; so Koji has asked for a DNA test. I have the twin's DNA right here; I can do the test right here so that you can see me doing it. That way you can see that we're not trying to trick you in any way." Sage said simply holding up a q-tip.
"Yeah; I'd like that." Ryou said simply.
"Ok then. Hold still and open your mouth as wide as you can. Oh and would you like a second form of DNA proof…meaning a blood sample?" Sage asked looking at Ryou.
"Yes." Ryou answered right away; he wanted as much proof as he could possibly get.
"Ok then." Sage said with a smile as she got everything ready.
"Ok, Koji will be in, in just a little bit; he'll read your results as soon as they're ready. I hope all works out for you and those children. Have a wonderful day." Sage said with a smile.
"Ok. Thank you and have a good day as well." Ryou and Keiichiro said sitting there.
Forty-Five Minutes Later:
"I thought she said he'd be here in just a little bit…" Ryou said annoyed.
"Calm down Ryou…I'm sure they're busy here…" Keiichiro said calmly.
"I can't calm down! I need to freaking know if these kids are mine or not!" Ryou exclaimed pissed off.
"Yes, I know; and I can't blame you. But freaking out like this isn't going to make this go by any faster." Keiichiro said as calmly as he could as he patted Ryou's shoulders.
"Yes…I know; I'm sorry. This is just frustrating." Ryou sighed.
"I can only imagine…" Keiichiro sighed.
Knock. Knock.
"Yeah!" Ryou called back.
"Hello. I'm Koji. You two must be Ryou and Keiichiro." A man with short black hair and brown eyes said entering the room while shutting the door behind him.
"Yes, I'm Ryou and this is my best friend, more like brother, Keiichiro." Ryou answered as calmly as he could.
"Yes, Sage told me which one of you was which. Anyways, let's see if the results are in." Koji said going over to where Sage left everything.
"I can trust you didn't touch or mess with these. Ha, I'm just kidding; an alarm would've gone off if either of you had touched these. Not to mention there are security cameras in here. Sorry, I'm just trying to lighten to mood. Looks like both sets of tests are complete." Koji said looking at Ryou and Keiichiro.
"And? What are the results?" Ryou asked looking at Koji.
"Well congratulations; you are the twin's father. Even just looking at you I can tell they're yours; they look exactly like you…especially the boy." Koji said causing Ryou to slide back in his seat.
"Umm…can you tell us what Maya's plans are?" Keiichiro asked looking at Koji.
"Hmmm? What do you mean?" Koji asked confused.
"With the twins? Is she planning on moving with them or will she let Ryou see them if he wants?" Keiichiro asked looking at Koji.
"Oh you don't know?" Koji asked confused.
"Know what?" Ryou and Keiichiro asked confused.
"Maya's dead." Koji said simply.
"What?!" Ryou and Keiichiro asked shocked.
"Yeah. And even if she weren't there's no way she would have custody of those two…" Koji said confusing Ryou and Keiichiro.
"Why?" Ryou asked right away.
"Well…let's start with how we even got them…a month and a half ago. Neighbors had called the police because Maya was blaring music for two days straight and there was a horrible stench. The stench was Maya's dead body. She was dead on the couch; she had overdosed with the needle in her vein." Koji started to explain.
"Where the hell were the kids?" Ryou asked becoming pissed off.
"She had locked them in a dark, cold and moldy cellar/closet. For how long I don't know. All we know is that the twins were pretty malnourished and very, very sick." Koji explained.
"What do you mean sick?" Ryou asked starting to become agitated.
"Here's a list of what they had." Koji said handing them a list.
Walking pneumonia
Bronchitis
The start of meningitis
UTIs
The flu
Severe fevers
Severe chicken Pox
Unknown stomach issues
Measles
"What the hell was she doing to them that they got this sick?" Keiichiro asked as Ryou read, re-read and re-read the list again.
"We're not exactly sure…they don't talk about any of that very much…well really at all." Koji explained.
"What are their names and how old are they?" Ryou asked right away.
"Do you want to know that?" Koji asked shocked.
"Yes, I want to know that information." Ryou answered.
"Kai and Mai Shirogane and they're three." Koji answered.
"So she gave them my last name…but she never once told me about them? What the hell? Why the hell not?" Ryou asked pissed off.
"I honestly don't know." Koji sighed.
"Were they abused?" Keiichiro asked the question Ryou wanted to ask, but couldn't.
"Yes…severely it seems; they both have bruises. Most of them are healed, but some are not. They also had broken bones; but those have all healed already. But…" Koji started.
"But?" Ryou and Keiichiro asked.
"They started healing before they could be set properly. Surprisingly they seem fine; but there is the possibility of surgery in the future." Koji explained.
"What are they like?" Ryou asked.
"Well Kai is very brave and protective of Mai. He's very talkative…just not about their mother or past. He doesn't seem to cry a whole lot. He's got a little attitude and temper. And he's smart…very smart for a three year old. And Mai…well Mai is very shy, quiet and meek. She seems to be the one who cries the most. And unlike her brother, she seems a little behind most kids her age. But she also doesn't talk much so we can't be a hundred percent sure on her intelligence." Koji said sitting in his chair.
"Well…Kai must get his smarts from Ryou; he's really smart." Keiichiro said with a smile.
"Yes…I seen that." Koji said simply.
"Is that all about Maya and the kids?" Ryou asked looking at Koji.
"Pretty much." Koji said simply.
"What's going to happen to them?" Ryou asked seriously.
"What do you want to happen to them?" Koji asked seriously.
"What do they look like? Can I see them?" Ryou asked quickly.
"Sage didn't show the pictures?" Koji asked a little confused.
"No…" Ryou said.
"Oh. Hold on…" Koji said digging through a file.
About three-five minutes later he pulled out three pictures.
"Ok these two pictures were not easy to get because Mai seems to have PTSD and is very reliant or clingy to Kai. But these are the two of them together. Mai has red hair and Kai has brown hair." Koji said handing Ryou the pictures.
"Well…they are defiantly your kids; they have your eyes. Kai looks a lot like your father and she looks…more like Ichigo with that red hair…neither of them really like Maya." Keiichiro said looking at the pictures.
"When can I see them? Or can I see them?" Ryou asked looking from the pictures to Koji.
"You want to see them?" Koji asked shocked.
"Why wouldn't I?" Ryou asked.
"Well…you're only twenty-one; you would've been seventeen when they were born. Most teen fathers don't want anything to do with their kids…or at least none that I've met…" Koji said simply.
"Well I'm not most teen fathers and I would like to see them. More importantly I want them. We'll start with one: they're mine and I want them. And two: I know how the system works; they'll separate them and obviously Mai can't have that." Ryou said standing his ground shocking Koji; but he quickly recovered from his shock and smiled.
"Ok then. You just need to read over these pages and sign where the Xs are." Koji said handing Ryou the papers.
Keiichiro would've asked if Ryou was sure if he didn't know him as well as he did. But he knows Ryou enough to know he didn't need to ask that; Ryou wanted his kids and there was nothing that could be said that would change his mind…and Keiichiro supported him.
After a few minutes Ryou got all the papers signed and that was that.
"Ok then; that's fantastic. Are you ready to meet them?" Koji asked as Ryou and Keiichiro stood up.
"Yes." Ryou answered right away.
"Ok good; follow me then." Koji said leading Ryou and Keiichiro out of the room and to a different area…
